    Inability to Change

    Yes I am WAY too hard on myself. I constantly beat myself up which is a big issue. The place I am going to go to for neurofeedback also teaches Chi Kung breathing exercises that I'm interested in learning which are of course tied to many forms of meditation.

    Inability to Change

    What you are saying makes total sense and it's how I feel. What I realized is that staying in the present moment, especially for someone with such massive anxiety as me, is the best option, but it's extremely difficult for me to do. I really think that about 10% of our thoughts should be about...

    Inability to Change

    Well ok, if that's what makes you happy that's fine. I guess I was just speaking for myself. But just out of curiosity, when you say you feel this way, would you really say you feel fulfilled with what you do on most of those days that end up usually being the same? If you are that's great...

    What other conditions do you have?

    I don't have Aspergers, but I do most likely have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Nonverbal Learning Disability, Depression, certain obsessive and compulsive traits, and possible ADHD, not sure about the last one. Then again, I'm not sure how well labels define a person. The DSM is always...

    Inability to Change

    Also, where is the test you guys are taking to get those scores at the bottom of your sigs and how can I take it and put it in my sig?

    Inability to Change

    Yes, I am changing my former comment that in fact I'd much rather it be something I can change more easily than a genetic predisposition. That was just what I felt like would be easier to defend when people criticize me, but it's not what I'd prefer. The thing is, I don't WANT to dislike...

    How do I make a signature? I'm not usually good with that kind of thing.

    Inability to Change

    I knew someone would say that, and while in reality I'd probably prefer the latter, my reasoning behind it, at least in saying it, is because then I can't blame it on some weakness on the part of myself or my family's having enabled me. It's easier to take if it's just a genetic predisposition...

    Inability to Change

    So everytime I post I always feel I have to preface it by saying I don't have Aspergers but probably do have Nonverbal Learning Disability which most likely has some connection, as well as Anxiety and some mild depression. Hopefully I'll stop feeling I have to remind everyone of this, as I'm...

    Almost non-existant IRL social life

    While I totally relate to your lack of social life, I don't in terms of where you are in life, because the last time I DID have a truly good social life was in college. I started late at 19 and graduated later at 24, but now I am 36. For me, school was always the way I made and maintained...

    Strange Dreams?

    I disagree that dreams aren't supposed to make sense, and all those images in your dreams have very really meanings to your real life. If you've studied psychology at all or know someone who's a psychotherapist or been in therapy, you see they make a lot of sense. There's really theory and some...

    Strange behaviors as a child

    Interesting. Now I feel like I might like to read that Anton Chekhov story, because that is kind of the feeling I'm describing. But experiencing some of those feelings as a young kid instead of an adult is I think key to really having the same EXACT kind of experience I am describing, because...

    Is there anyone here with Non Verbal Learning Disability/Disorder?

    I'm glad that there's someone here I can talk to who also has NLD. I'm probably going to want to ask you certain questions at some point to see if you are similar or different to me in certain ways, but I can't think of them now. One frustrating thing is that I find in many ways I might also...

    Is there anyone here with Non Verbal Learning Disability/Disorder?

    Well yes, I do obsess over things and have anxiety. I also have generalized anxiety disorder. It's true, many diagnoses are co-morbid.

    Are you left handed, right handed, or in between?

    Well like I said, writing is the only thing that feels natural doing lefthanded for me, and I tore a ligament in my right wrist and was in a cast for months. Sure, it was nice that it was still easy to write with my left, but being that everything else feels awkward to do with my left, it was...
